Certified Lodging Owner — CLO
View CertificateDescription
Hotel ownership requires a knowledge of financial, regulatory, operational, legal, and analytical issues. The Certified Lodging Owner (CLO) professional certification was developed by AHLEI based on input from current owners about the competencies that were important for their success. The study materials provide a strong foundation for new owners who may not have prior knowledge of the hotel industry.
